Episode #13

The campus of Marbridge offers four care communities housing adults with disabilities. Each community is tailored for the specific needs of the population living there. The Marbridge campus also has a variety of life options programs including sports, arts, vocational support, and continuing education.

In addition to what they offer residents and the surrounding area, Marbridge also helps organizations wishing to create a campus model in their own communities. This is done via mentoring, visits, and an annual symposium which is free of charge.
